WHICH ARE BIG FIVE ANIMAL?.WHY ARE THEY CALLED SO

-


Which are the big five African animals and why are they called such? If you have never had answers to this question then this article is perfect for you because it has all the facts and information about these so-called Big 5 animals (also referred to as the big five games). Surprisingly, there are only 11 countries in the world that harbor all these animals and all of them are African with Uganda also slotting up on the list. Among these big 5 safari animals are the African Elephant, Rhinoceros, Lion, Leopard and the Cape Buffalo. These animals were named the big five because they are not only among the most poached animals, most difficult to hunt on foot but are also the most dangerous. The phrase “Big Five” was crafted by hunters to refer to these animals that are difficult to poach on foot and has since then been used regularly in talks regarding African wildlife safaris.

A lot of people ask why these animals were chosen, as mentioned above they were extremely dangerous to pursue on foot and many hunters lost their lives while trying to get that prestigious trophy – primarily because they hunt back!
